Former Big Brother Naija Housemate Neo Akpofure has issued a legal notice demanding a public retraction and apology from a woman who, on Tuesday, 17th February, took to her X handle to accuse him of sexual assault.
The woman, whose handle is @notralia, alleged that she and Neo used to be casual sex partners while at the University of Calabar. She claimed they agreed to be friends with benefits on the condition that neither would be in a relationship.
She stated that she discovered Neo was in a relationship, stormed his house to confront him, and was then allegedly raped by him.
In a letter dated February 18, 2026, from the law firm E.L. Akpofure, San & Co., the legal team accused the X user, identified as Ms Arikan Udoka, of publishing defamatory content against their client.
Neo’s lawyers strongly denied the allegations, calling them “entirely false, malicious and defamatory,” and accused the accuser of damaging their client’s reputation and subjecting him to public ridicule.
The legal notice demanded that the X user delete the post and any related publications, issue a clear public retraction, and publish an apology acknowledging that the allegations were untrue.
The lawyers also requested a written undertaking that no further defamatory statements would be made.
The firm warned that failure to comply within 48 hours would lead to legal action, including a civil suit for defamation under Nigerian law.
